Hi there thats a good questions, I would say that wooden shed is definitely cost effective and that a decent wooden shed that has had coated protection for the wood and put together the correct way will last a very long time. As long as you maintain it. There is also loads to choose. Hope this helps

Concrete in my mind would be for a structure that stands for a long time. They are more expensive than plastic or wooden structures however the upside is really that they have much more strength / durability. Which means they are great from a security prospective too. Wooden structures are generally more favourable. At least personally, and from my clients stand point. Wood buildings are natural thermal insulators. They help to save energy over the life of a building, with their thermal insulation being approximately 15 times better than concrete. Costs are variable for both. You may pay alot for concrete shed in general, but then you could insulate and add electrics to a wooden one of a similar size on top of the cost of the structure and pay the same as you may for a concrete shed. Personally, being into sustainability and organic minded i would go for the natural affect and wood would win hands down everytime.
